...ringingly condemned Communism as an atheistic and materialistic evil, arch enemy of God and of human rights. In the Communist-ruled countries, Pius XII had to find a harrowing way between the extremes of a tough anti-Communist line that might have destroyed the church through reprisals and a collaborationist line that might have destroyed the church just as surely through spiritual surrender. Poland's Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski and his precarious stand-off with the Red regime has shown that toughness can be combined with shrewd compromise. In the Western countries, the Pope took a bold political step...

Last year Ordass got permission to attend an international Lutheran assembly in Minneapolis (TIME, Aug. 19), but after his return, he was slapped in the Red press for his "antiCommunist addresses," was replaced by Collaborationist Bishop Lajos Veto as Hungary's No. 1 Lutheran.

The group included only 300 of Hungary's 6,000 priests, but with government backing it was in virtual charge of the Hungarian church in the years before last fall's uprising. After his release from imprisonment, Cardinal Mindszenty threatened all "peace priests" with excommunication unless they submitted to church discipline. Most of them submitted. Notable exception: Father Richard Horvath, the National Committee's ambitious chief. Horvath went on riding high after the Kadar regime was installed...
